I tried searching for this in puritanboard so I hope I am not dragging out a dead horse to beat it. I have recently been reading the Synopsis of the Four Gospels and quite enjoying it. However, I am having a hard time piecing together Luke's and Matthew's nativity stories. I have poked around online and I get that if the events with the Magi happened about two years after the events in Luke then everything fits together quite nicely. What I don't understand is why Mary and Joseph returned to Bethlehem after all that time when Luke is clear that they were living in Nazareth. Any help with this would be much appreciated.
